Watchstaders at the 1st Coast Guard District in Boston were notified at 3:35 a.m., Monday from the crew of the fishing vessel Helen Louise reporting that the captain’s son had lacerated his hand and was in need of medical attention.

A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew was launched and safely hoisted the boy and his father. They were transported to Massachusetts General Hospital.

“We were able to get the patient the medical care he needed,” said Lt. j.g. Ashley Dufresne, the command duty officer at the 1st District in Boston. “We hope he recovers soon.”
